Colarado,
TON is not the place you should have started. While the outlook for this stock is thematically very strong, it's has been and is going to be a wild ride. Investing in the market is a study in human nature and big money is made by taking on the herd mentality of the market and backing yourself to do the exact opposite of what most others are doing (on the back of publically available information.). Saying that you have to understand why you have a different view to the market and understand and manage the risks around that view. Fact of the matter is, most retail investors get scared and sell at the bottom and pile into a hot market at the top. TON is a higher risk, higher reward situation, mostly due to where the company is in its life cycle. You should build a portfolio of stocks, some blue chips and if you have the stomach for it some situations like TON. It's all about managing risk and with a portfolio approach, hopefully you have other winners to offset losers.

Unfortunately there is no substitute for experience
Good luck
